Standard CCTV is a passive observer; it records footage that you might look at after a crime has already been committed. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that acts in real-time. Our MotionX technology is the core differentiator; it doesn't just detect 'motion' (which leads to false alarms from wind or animals), but identifies 'important activity' like a person approaching your home. It requires no manual 'tripwires' because the AI automatically understands your property boundaries. When a threat is detected, scOS intervenes with escalating responses—such as presence simulation and voice warnings—to stop the intruder before they even touch your property, rather than just filming them while they do it.

Absolutely. scOS is designed to be brand-agnostic, meaning it can work with almost any existing wired IP camera system, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Reolink, and Ubiquiti. Our professional UK installers will assess your current setup during the 4-6 hour installation process to ensure everything is integrated correctly. By connecting your 'dumb' cameras to our Intelligence Hub, we transform them into a smart, proactive network. This allows Mawsley Village residents to upgrade to the latest AI security technology without the expense and disruption of replacing their entire existing camera infrastructure.

scOS deters criminals through three intelligent layers. First is Presence Simulation: the system learns your daily habits and replicates them when you're out, making your home look occupied to anyone scouting the area. Second is MotionX detection, which identifies suspicious individuals even if they are wearing masks or hoods. Third is Active Intervention: if someone enters your property, scOS triggers immediate light responses and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This immediate, intelligent response signals to a criminal that they aren't just on camera, but are being actively monitored by a system that has already identified them, causing most to flee immediately.

Privacy is a cornerstone of the scOS philosophy. We are a 100% UK-based company, and all your data is stored in secure UK data centres, fully compliant with GDPR. Unlike other systems that process everything in the cloud (often overseas), scOS uses a hybrid approach. Our Intelligence Hub processes data locally for instant response, only using our secure UK cloud for escalation and remote access. Your data belongs to you; we never sell it or share it. You have full control over your recordings, which are kept for up to two weeks, ensuring your Mawsley Village home stays private and secure.

A video doorbell is a reactive device that only covers your front door and often requires you to manually respond to an alert. scOS is a comprehensive, proactive security system for your entire property. It monitors all boundaries, detects threats long before they reach the door, and acts autonomously to deter them. While doorbells can be easily bypassed or jammed due to their WiFi reliance, scOS uses professional-grade wired connections. For residents in Mawsley Village, scOS offers the peace of mind that comes from a system that actively prevents crime, rather than one that just shows you who stole your parcel.

Mawsley Village is a popular choice for professionals commuting to Kettering, Northampton, or further afield. This means many homes are left empty during the day. scOS is specifically designed for this lifestyle. Our 'Presence Simulation' feature is a game-changer; it doesn't just turn a light on a timer, but intelligently simulates human activity patterns inside your home. This makes it virtually impossible for a burglar to tell if you're at work or in the living room. Combined with 24/7 remote access via our app, you can check on your home from the office or the train with total confidence.

Mawsley Village enjoys a very low property crime rate (3.52), which is a testament to the community. However, low-crime areas are often targeted by sophisticated criminals who travel from larger towns specifically because they expect residents to be less vigilant. Relying on 'it won't happen here' is a risk. scOS ensures that your home remains a 'hard target.' By having a system that proactively deters intruders, you maintain the safety of your home and contribute to keeping the overall village crime rate low. It’s about prevention, ensuring that your home is never the one that changes the local statistics.

Yes, scOS features advanced 'Covered Face Detection.' Our MotionX AI is trained to recognise human forms and behaviours regardless of what they are wearing. If the system detects someone on your property with their face concealed by a balaclava, mask, or even a pulled-up hood in suspicious circumstances, it flags this as a high-priority anomaly. This immediately triggers the escalating response protocol, including voice warnings and alerts to your phone. This is a vital feature for modern security, as it ensures that criminals cannot hide from the system simply by covering their faces.
